What is the reversal agent for diazepam (benzodiazepine) overdose?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Flumazenil (Romazicon)
Flumazenil (Romazicon) is the specific benzodiazepine antagonist that competitively blocks GABA-A receptors, reversing sedation, respiratory depression, and anxiolysis from benzodiazepines like diazepam, midazolam, and lorazepam. Naloxone reverses opioids (not benzos). Physostigmine reverses anticholinergics. Remember: Benzo → Flumazenil; Opioid → Naloxone.
